SAM transfers methyl units. regeneration of methionine (and thus SAM) is dependent on Vitamin B12 and folate. It is required for the conversion of NE to Epinephrine Marasmus - ANSWER energy malnutrition resulting in tissue and muscle wasting, loss of subcutaneous fat, and variable edema. marasmus results in Muscle Wasting Kwashiokor - ANSWER protein malnutrition resulting in skin lesions, edema, liver malfunction (fatty change due to decreased apolipoprotein synthesis) clinical picture is a small child with swollen belly. malnutrition, edema, anemia, fatty liver. Vitamin K Functions - ANSWER catalyzes gamma carboxylation of glutamic acid residues on various proteins concerned with blood clotting. synthesized by intestinal flora. it is necessary for the synthesis of clotting factors 2/7/9/10 and proteins C and S. warferin is a vitamin K antagonist Vitamin K deficiency - ANSWER neonatal hemorrhage with increase PT and increase aPTT but normal bleeding time. (neonates have sterile intestines and are unable to synthesize vitamin K) can also occur after prolonged use of broad spectrum antibiotics. Is not present in breast milk; neonates are given vit. K injection at birth to prevent hemorrhage. Reasons why its decreased in newboards are 1. hepatic immaturity, 2. not in breast milk. 3. sterile GI tract. 4. poor placental transfer of Vit. K. Zinc Function - ANSWER essential for the activity of 100+ enzymes. Important in the formation of Zinc Fingers (transcription factor motif Ethanol Metabolism - ANSWER thanol is converted to acetaldehyse via the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase and the cofactor NAD+ (to NADH). that happens in the cytosol. In the mitochondria Acetaldehyde is converted to acetate via Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase again with the help of NAD+. NAD+ is therefore the limiting reagent. Alcohol dehydrogenase operates via zero order kinetics. Fomepizole - ANSWER inhibits alcohol dehydrogenase and is an antidote for methanol or ethylene glycol poisening. Disulfiram (antabuse) - ANSWER inhibits acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (acetaldehyde accumulates contributing to hangover symptoms) Vitamin E functions - ANSWER antioxidant that protects erythrocytes and membranes from free radical damage. Vitamin E deficiency. - ANSWER increased fragility of erythrocytes (hemolytic anemia) muscle weakness, posterior column and sponocerebellar tract demyelination) Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) function - ANSWER is an antioxidant. also facilitates iron absorption by keeping iron in Fe2+ reduced state. It is also necessary for hydroxilation of proline and lysine in colagen synthesis. Is also necesary for dopamine beta hydroxylase which converts dopamine. found in fruits in vegetables. C = Colon (descending and ascending) K = Kidneys E = Esophagus (lower 2/3) R = Rectum (lower 2/3) Falciform Ligament - ANSWER connects the liver to the anterior abdominal wall. Contains the ligamentum teres hepatis. (derivative of fetal umbilical vein). Derivative of ventral mesentery. Hepatoduodenal ligament - ANSWER connects liver to duodenum and houses the portal triad. hepatic artery, portal vein and common bile duct. Pringle maneuver, ligament may be compressed bw thumb and index finger placed in omental foramen to control bleeding. Connects greater and lesser sacs. Gastro hepatic ligament - ANSWER connects liver to lesser curvature of the stomach. houses gastric arteries. seperates greater and lesser sacs on the right. may be cut during surgery to access lesser sac Gastrocolic ligament - ANSWER connects greater curvature and transverse colon. houses gastroepiploic arteries. is part of greater omentum. gastrosplenic ligament - ANSWER connects greater curvature and spleen. contains short gastrics and left gasroepiploics. Seperates greater an lesser sac on the left. splenorenal ligament - ANSWER connects spleen to posterior abdominal wall. contains splenic artery and vein and tail of pancreas. phenylalanine and tryptophan are potent stimulators of? - ANSWER also increased by stomach distention and alkanilization, amino acids, vagal stimulation and decreased by stomach pH<1.5. severely increased in ZE syndrome. and increased by chronic PPI use. primary disease prevention - ANSWER prevention of disease occurrence secondary disease prevention - ANSWER refers to early detection of disease tertiary disease prevention - ANSWER aims to reduce the morbidity of an already acquired disease physiological characteristics of cardiogenic shock - ANSWER increased central venous pressure increased pulmonary capillary wedge pressure increased stroke volume decreased cardiac output decreased venous oxygen saturation Rubeola Virus - ANSWER causes measles 3C's cough coryza (cold like symptoms) conjunctivitis koplic spots 0 red oral lesions with white centers found in the buccal mucosa are characteristic of measles in the early stage. all of these symptoms are prodromic and will disappear before the measles rash begins. rash begins 2-5 days later and the child will have a high fever with a a Clostridium difficile - ANSWER metronidazole (alt: vancomycin) -must be PO Corynebacterium diphtheriae - ANSWER erythromycin + antitoxin Gardnerella vaginalis - ANSWER metronidazole (alt: tinidazole) Hemophilus ducreyi - ANSWER azithromycin or ceftriaxone Hemophilus influenzae - ANSWER -cefotaxime or ceftriaxone if life threatening -amoxicillin-clavulanate if non-life threatening Mycoplasma pneumoniae - ANSWER doxycycline or azithromycin Neisseria gonorrheae - ANSWER -ceftriaxone is drug of choice -always treated with doxycycline or azithromycin for chlamydia even if it has been ruled out Neisseria meningitidis - ANSWER ceftriaxone Bacillus anthracis - ANSWER ciprofloxacin + clindamycin + meropenem + raxibacumab Listeria monocytogenes - ANSWER ampcillin + gentamicin Pasteurella multocida - ANSWER amoxicillin or cefuroxime Salmonella typhi - ANSWER ciprofloxacin Shigella species - ANSWER azithromycin or any fluoroquinolone (alt: ceftriaxone) Treponema pallidum - ANSWER penicillin G Trichomonas vaginalis - ANSWER metronidazole (alt: tinidazole) Staphylococcus aureus - ANSWER -oxacillin or nafcillin -dicloxacillin if on skin -if MRSA: vancomycin Streptococcus pyogenes - ANSWER penicillin G or V Genital warts - ANSWER podophyllin resin or cryotherapy or trichloroacetic acid Group B strep prophylaxis for pregnant females - ANSWER penicillin G during labor Staphylococcus saprophyticus - ANSWER any cephalosporin or amoxicillin-clavulanic acid Streptococcus pneumoniae - ANSWER penicillin G Vibrio cholerae - ANSWER IV Ringer's lactate + 1 dose of doxycycline or azithromycin
